    This.

    Seriously, I don't really care to see Batman go down on Catwoman.

    It's not really a big deal.

    EDIT: Aren't there porn parodies of superheroes performing all manner of sexual acts? I actually understand DC wanting and not wanting their characters to be depicted in certain ways.

    And someone has launched a petition to allow "The Bat eat the Cat"..LOLOLOL.

    It only has 13 signatures though...seriously, it's not really a big deal.

    I agree with those that say that its really not the place for these children's properties. I myself am generally uncomfortable with the level of sexualization in the comic fan community because I don't want to be associated with cartoon perverts.

    But my god some of the memes that have come from this are hilarious
    It's the Dynamic Duo! Batman and Robin!... and Red Robin and Red Hood and Nightwing and Batwoman and Batgirl and Orphan and Spoiler and Bluebird and Lark and Gotham Girl and Talon and Batwing and Huntress and Azreal and Flamebird and Batcow?

    Since when could just anybody do what we trained to do? It makes it all dumb instead of special. Like it doesn't matter anymore.

    I feel like this is simply the inevitable result of allowing someone to make a risqué, adult humored TV show set in Gotham, allowing all sorts fo stuff to go through, but not thinking about how inventively what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

    …I meant that to mean that dirty jokes about villains would be echoed in dirty jokes about heroes, but take that how you will.
    Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?

    I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP

    If this happened in the current Batman comics I'd be a little disgusted perhaps, but we have seen Batman's penis in Batman Damned and Kevin Smith made Batman admit to his losing bladder control in the past but anything can be retconned.

    Harley Quinn is just a harmless cartoon out of continuity albeit a bit too vulgar with the F-bombs so it wouldn't surprise me if the writers want to write for 12 year olds.

    Actually they way i heard, the reason they put this to the torch was because they were afraid it would hurt their toy sales...which doesn't make a damn bit of sense because there are no toys that are based on this R-rated show.

    The Batman penis thing with the Batman Dammed book ended up with people being fired over it, right? The higher ups got really upset when they found out they were basically selling official drawings of Batman's penis to the public. Then all later versions had the penis edited out.

    Not sure about people getting fired but, yeah, later versions had the penis edited out.

    I mean, on one side this is normalizing sex, right? As opposed to demonizing it, stigmatizing it and blowing it out of proportion. I mean, the main reason why we are responding to sex the way we are responding to it now is because it was stigmatized in the past. Letting stuff like this leak through would eventually make it a simple, normal thing that no one would blink at and could possibly mean people would approach the subject and activity more healthily in the long run. Theoretically.

    They’d be talking about Batman toy sales in general. The fear is parents might become hesitant to buy toys of a character DC is showing performing explicit sex acts. Kids don’t even have to watch the show, all it takes is one headline.

    One might argue for sex to be more normalized, but I don’t think anyone expects Batman to be the platform for that agenda. It really shouldn't fall to Batman to normalize sex.

    Yeah, people assume that everyone keeps up with everything and is rational about their every decision. Someone will see a headline about Batman going down and will just say **** it, not going to risk anything and will just buy more Frozen toys or whatever new safe and cool thing is at the moment.

    I mean that makes sense, but then it also doesnt.
    If they think this far ahead, why havent they done so with the killing joke movie prologue?

    I remember there were quite the bad headlines after this too, but did it affect the toy sales or so much?

    Well DC has seen a change of the guard since then. Also that might be something they have come to see as a mistake. Like Bat penis.
